ON CHEMISTRY, OR SHALL I? Shall I waste in Davis’s lair And die, because of odors there? Or hasten from the flying glass, Because I failed my test on gas? Be there sulphur in my hair, Also NH4-fumed air, As long as I may live, alas, What care I just how I pass? Jerry TO THE FACULTY Stone walls do not a schoolhouse make, Nor warning cards a brain. Minds innocent and quiet take Them for a threat quite plain. When I have freedom in my soul, And from studies I am free, Then I’ll have reached that final goal My parents set for me. Georgette 11

A TRIBUTE TO MISS MARY E. HAGAN Though on a year’s leave of absence because of illness, Miss Hagan has maintained a permanent niche in the affections of her former English stu- dents. While here, her skillful encouragement through the medium of the “Hi! Schooler” proved the guiding light for a number of budding writers, and her effervescent charm and finesse seemed to influence all those who came in contact with her. 12
